We use only the finest, premium, grade A vanilla beans when making the Silver Cloud Pure Vanilla Extract. Produced in an eco-friendly manner, no child labor is used to plant, grow or harvest our beans.

Our extract has a rich, rummy flavor with sweet, creamy undertones and a slightly fruity top note. Since it is high in vanillin (naturally occurring in vanilla beans), it has more flavor and greater impact when used in ice cream, baked goods and beverages than your average store bought vanilla extract.

Once you try Silver Cloud's Pure Vanilla Extract, you will never purchase another brand.

Silver Cloud's Pure Vanilla Extract is manufactured in accordance with the U.S. standard of identity for pure vanilla extract and contains vanilla bean extractives, water and ethyl alcohol (35%). We do not add any sugar, glycerin or corn syrup and our product is gluten free!

I bought this vanilla a couple of years ago and was so impressed with it that I brought it to my sister's home last year to prepare Christmas sweets for a large family gathering. She loved baking with it, so I left it there. Oh how I have missed this vanilla. I went back to the expensive pure Mexican vanilla that was on the shelf in the pantry, but noooo! I cannot recommend this product high enough. Needless to say, I am treating myself to my own supply!

Superior vanilla flavor!

I tried your vanilla flavoring in a batch of cookies yesterday, and it was a superior performer! I used half the amount that the recipe called for, and the end result was perfect.
This is a big plus for me, because using half the amount of flavoring saves on costs, which makes a big difference for my cookie/dessert business.

This is by far the best vanilla I have ever used. It completely transforms anything your baking, and gives it the most wonderful flavor. I will never use another kind of vanilla ever again.

This is the first testimonial I have ever written but after trying the Silver Cloud Pure Vanilla Extract I wanted to let you and others know how impressed I am with your product. Every year I bake the same 11 cookies which are given to family and friends for the holiday. This year I used your vanilla extract instead of the other brands and the cookies had a more enjoyable & smooth taste. After trying your vanilla extract I can’t see using any other brand!

Will Only Use Silver Cloud's Pure Vanilla Extract

I run a small cake decorating business I started using Silver Cloud's Pure Vanilla Extract about two years ago and started getting a lot more complimets about the flavor of my yellow cake. Since I made no other changes, I can only attribute this to their vanilla and will use no other.

Pure Vanilla Extract

Silver Cloud's Pure Vanilla Extract is made from beans grown on the Silver Cloud Estates and neighboring properties in the beautiful Nilgiri, or Blue Mountains of Southern India.

The Nilgiri’s elevation, rich soil and climate are ideal for growing vanilla and the plants generally thrive. Vanilla beans grown in Southern India are high in natural vanillin; typically much higher than the beans grown in Madagascar, Mexico and other growing areas. Vanillin, gives vanilla extract much (but not all) of its characterizing flavor and aroma. The high vanillin content of our beans means our Pure Vanilla Extract is stronger and does not need added sugar, glycerin or corn syrup to enhance its pure and natural flavor.

Our Pure Vanilla Extract is manufactured in accordance with the U.S. standard of identify. Vanilla is the only flavor that has a standard of identity. This means, by law vanilla extract can only contain certain ingredients to be labeled as pure. The standard of identity requires 13.35 ounces of cured, cut vanilla beans (with a moisture content not greater than 25.00%) be used per gallon of finished extract. The extract must contain a minimum 35.00% alcohol by volume. Glycerin, water and corn syrup are allowed, but not required under the standard of identity for pure vanilla extract.

We also offer vanilla extracts that conform to the standard of identity, but are produced from beans grown in Madagascar and other origins. Our pure vanilla extracts SC18 and SC19 are made exclusively from Madagascar beans or are blends of Madagascar and beans from Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Uganda.

We have recently added Acai, Natural Flavor Blend to our product offerings. This trendy flavor is great for baking, beverages and ice cream. Acai has a unique flavor which some describe as similar to a combination of raspberry and grape. Silver Cloud will have a booth at the 2015 BrewExpo America Trade Show in Portland, OR April 12 - 17, 2015. Our booth number is 1114. If you are attending please come and visit us.
